Room 1: Teaching the Civil Rights Movement through Primary Sources and Graphic Novels

Civil rights education is often criticized for being limited to biographies of a few leaders and the "I Have a

Dream" speech. In this session, participants will learn how civil rights resources can transform their

collections and the way they teach the civil rights movement. Primary sources from the Library of Congress

will be paired with graphic novels to help secondary students learn about this decades‐long movement.

Lesson plans and other resources will be shared.

Room 4: Homeless Patrons: How to compassionately (and confidently) handle problematic behavior

Do you have patrons who bring in too many bags? Smell really bad? Panhandle in your library? Argue with

you and other patrons? This interactive training is much more than simple “sensitivity training.” You will

learn why homeless individuals do what they do and the practical tools for resolving problems. There is a

special focus on mentally ill and/or addicted patrons. After this training, you will have more confidence

with homeless patrons. This training is based on the ALA book, “The Librarian’s Guide to Homelessness.”

Room 5: Go! Set! Ready! Doin' the Online Pivot!

The COVID 19 pandemic thrust every academic institution into what The Chronicle of Higher Education

dubbed “the online pivot,” leaving many to feel as though the starter pistol fired before any of us was

ready! For many libraries, this was a natural extension of pre‐existing online services. Although librarians’

facility with technology uniquely positioned us for a smoother transition, it was not without its challenges.

In this session, Sarah breaks down SFCC Library’s response to the online pivot into three phases: GO! – our

“rapid response” to the immediate information needs of our patrons; SET! – what services and best

practices we adopted once the dust settled; and READY! – what we have taken away from this experience

to be ready for a fully‐online summer…and possibly fall. Session will include breakout time for small‐group

collaboration.

Room 1: Building Community Through Book Clubs

We will explore actionable insights from BookBrowse’s research report, "The Inner Lives of Book Clubs.”

Topics include: The factors most successful groups have in common; what people want from a book group,

and how well‐placed Public Libraries are to meet this need. We will also look at how to run multiple,

diverse book clubs by partnering with the community and how to engage book clubs even when library

buildings are closed. The program is relevant to librarians whether running book groups or providing

readers’ advisory to those in groups. All attendees will receive a free PDF of the full 60‐page report. More

Room 2: Tribal Outreach and Intellectual Property Training in the Four Corners Region

Indigenous populations have struggled with cultural appropriation and control over their intellectual and

cultural property. Within the four‐corner states (AZ, CO, NM, & UT) there are 53 federally recognized tribes.

Only five tribes have taken advantage of the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s tribal insignia

trademark program. Our ultimate project goal is to create an educational outreach program about patents

and trademarks to underserved populations in tribal areas near the four‐corners states.

A panel of library advocates will share the story of the creation of, challenges faced, and continued success

of the Esperanza Book Club. Esperanza is not your typical book club in that it meets monthly in a juvenile

detention center and focuses on providing teens who are incarcerated with opportunities to read and

discuss current YA literature in a supportive environment. We will share tips about book selection, funding,

statistics, obstacles, and memorable moments.

Room 3: Workforce Solutions ‐ An Important Connection to Libraries

The New Mexico State Library (NMSL) has introduced two new programs to assist New Mexicans improve their educational skills, obtain certifications for jobs and advance their careers. 1. The Learning Express Library Career Center offers 36 different entry‐level career pathway certifications related to in‐demand fields like Allied Health, Social Services, Culinary Arts, Real Estate, Building Trades, Law Enforcement, Legal Services, and Education. To facilitate learning, a range of free supplemental materials are available to help learners prepare for job certification tests. 2. The Career Online High School program brings adult students over 19 years of age back into the educational system and prepares them for jobs in growing sectors of the economy. Students earn a high school diploma and credentialed career certificate at the same time. 3.Don't forget, NMSL also offers Jobs Now through Brainfuse which provides live interactive online job coach combined with online resources to guide you through the necessary tasks to get a job. The robust features of Brainfuse will be reviewed to assist librarians patrons interested in improving their job skill sets, assessing their talents for specific careers, creating a resume that results in calls for job interviews and practice mock interviews with a virtual job coach. In collaboration with New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS) and their 23 Career Connection Centers statewide the NMSL will provide access to career certifications with existing NM industries and occupations. The Connection Centers throughout New Mexico assisting job seekers in identifying employers, applying for jobs, assessments for specific occupations, resume assistance and much more.


Attendees will learn how to collaborate with colleagues in the Career Connection Centers with both parties assisting their community residents in advancing their skills and obtaining work post Covid‐19. Academic Libraries, Public Libraries, , School Libraries, Special Libraries

Room 4: Transgender 101 Workshop

Adrien Lawyer, Co‐Director of the Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico, provides basic training

including a chance to engage in dialogue and have your questions answered directly. Our objective is to

increase visibility and awareness, sharing information and potentially new language, while addressing

common misunderstandings and biases that routinely affect members of our community. This is a valuable

training for anyone working in public service, and for anyone seeking ways to create more inclusive,

accessible spaces.

Room 5: Intellectual Freedom Stories From A Shifting Landscape

Intellectual freedom is a complex concept that democracies and free societies around the world define in

different ways but always strive to uphold. Libraries have been responsible for protecting this right, but

what does it mean in practice? How do library workers handle the ethical conundrums that often

accompany the commitment to defending it? These questions are addressed in the newly published book,

Intellectual Freedom Stories: From A Shifting Landscape (ALA, 2020) edited by Val Nye. Come to the

session to learn what you can do to protect intellectual freedom and support social justice at your library.

Room 1: Not Such an Odd Couple: Lessons Learned When Libraries and Museums are Conjoined

Within the City of Las Cruces, youth services provided by both the Museums and the Library have been

joined under an umbrella program called "Children and Teens." All programming and staff for both entities

are taken from the same budget line and use the same achievement benchmarks despite having very

different missions and ways of operating. In this presentation, youth librarians and museum educators talk

about the lessons learned and how we've been able to capitalize on each other’s strengths.

Room 2: J.R. Willis: Postcard Artist and Old Town Arts Entrepreneur

Joseph Roy "J. R." Willis (1876‐1960) had a remarkable and colorful New Mexico career as an entrepreneur

of the arts. Coming to Gallup in 1917, he operated a camera store and was involved in the beginnings of the

Gallup Intertribal Indian Ceremonial. He published thousands of beautiful but stereotypical postcards about

Native Americans and the Southwest, and was called "New Mexico's Aspen King" for his many landscape

paintings. In 1938, he built the home, studio and artists compound next to the Albuquerque Country Club

which is known today as the Casas de Sueños Historic Inn.

Room 3: Who's Connected? Who's Not? Why Not?

The New Mexico State Library has been deploying broadband to libraries statewide for two years through

our Broadband for Libraries Program and Broadband for Libraries Infrastructure Fund. The State Library

has made broadband deployment a priority and taken its broadband game up a notch. Libraries are seeing

the beginning of things. Web 2.0 is broadband. Web 3.0 is 10 gigabits a second! It’s important to

acknowledge the investment in fiber for libraries throughout New Mexico.

Come learn about the impact high speed broadband is having on both tribal and Public Libraries

throughout the state and the savings realized through E‐Rate for this important infrastructure investment

in rural New Mexico. Participants will be encouraged to provide examples of how broadband access for

everyone creates opportunities for education, for healthcare, for jobs and careers. It’s a game changer!

Room 5: A Look at New Archival Resources and Collections at NMSU & UNM

New Mexico’s two principle research libraries, at New Mexico State University and the University of New

Mexico, both hold extensive archives and special collections for the study of the region’s history. These

dynamic institutions continually grow, with many new collections added each year. As archivists arrange

and describe these collections for public access, the pool of unique research resources on New Mexico

history grows deeper and wider. Archivists from these two institutions will discuss newly acquired or newly

processed collections that hold enormous potential for historical study of New Mexico.

Room 1: New Mexico's Museum Libraries

Months into the open‐ended closure of New Mexico's museums, the librarians overseeing the specialized

collections and research services housed within them are challenged to envision their futures beyond the

immediate crisis. In this session, our panel of museum librarians from the New Mexico Department of

Cultural Affairs will introduce an open discussion of the ongoing professional issues specific to these

unique library environments, and the current and near‐term challenges and opportunities presented to us

and our institutions by the COVID‐19 pandemic, the economic crisis, and the movement for racial justice.

Room 2: Paying Attention to Indigenous YA

With the Yazzie/Martinez case now informing all conversations about equity in New Mexico education,

school librarians recognize that the books we purchase and promote for pleasure reading have

tremendous power to shape student perceptions of the world and each other. Panelists will discuss the

importance of choosing YA books in every format/genre that fully and accurately represent indigenous

peoples, as well as the criteria they themselves use as readers, publishers, and curators of collections for

middle and high school students.

Room 3: Free Cataloging Resources

It’s no secret that many of the well‐known library cataloging resources cost a significant amount of money.

However, there are wide array of resources available to help you get your cataloging done that are

completely free. This session will explore free resources for classification, subject headings, MARC, map

cataloging, RDA and more. We’ll also look at some free resources that will help you learn how to catalog


and strengthen your cataloging skills. This session is open to everyone who has an interest in cataloging,

from total beginners to seasoned metadata wizards.

Room 4: Food for Thought: Addressing Food Waste, Food Access, and Food Insecurity through Rural Libraries

Imagine grocery shopping at a Dollar Store. That’s a reality for people living in rural poor food deserts. The

Southern Adirondack Library System and the Comfort Food Community food pantry launched the Fresh

Food Collective Farm‐2‐Library initiative to reduce food waste by gleaning at local farms, then distributing

the produce through rural libraries where food scarcity, limited food pantry access, and transportation limit

access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Since launching, more than 5,000 pounds of fresh produce was

shared, creating and deepening relationships with the community while fostering renewed interest in

library services by previously reluctant users.

Room 5: Using Picture Books to Spark Civic Action

Children’s literature reflects the world around us, and has the power to inspire, educate, and engage

readers in social action. This workshop will discuss specific pictures books (both fiction and nonfiction) and

exercises that educators can use to build empathy, as well as to model, inspire, and practice the confidence

and skills children of all ages need to use their voices for social change, and to actively participate in their

public life — as children and adults.

Room 1: Making Sense of Our World: Picture Books & Primary Sources

All students should have the opportunity to read and explore books that reflect the lives they lead as well

as windows into different perspectives and experiences. When choosing those culturally relevant books for

our students, we can enrich the conversation by adding related primary sources. Primary sources are great

tools for engagement. They also help children build their understanding of historical events. Learn how

two school librarians pair primary sources with the latest diverse book titles to engage students and help

them make sense of their world.

Room 3: Let This Dynamic Duo Answer Your Graphic Novel Questions

Graphic novels aren't just about superheroes. They include memoirs, non‐fiction, minority voices, manga,

and many other rich genres. A dynamic duo of a library media specialist and an English teacher of a graphic

novel course are here to answer your questions.

This presentation explores: What makes a quality graphic novel? What makes the genre of comics its own

unique art form? Can graphic novels make you smarter? How do graphic novels use panels, bleeds,


perspective, realism, negative space, and texture to help tell a story? How can you use graphic novels to

teach students the art of storytelling? What is the graphic novel's cultural influence? Are they appropriate

for independent reading? For ESL? What are some successful cross‐promotional strategies for your

collection? With a heavy emphasis on teens, this presentation also explores: How can you build a graphic

novel collection with strong cross‐curricular connections (including hot titles and core titles)?

Introducing Learners to Online Sources

This session will describe how two educators collaborated to create a March Madness‐style competition

that combined direct instruction, hands‐on activities, and a collaborative approach to finding and

evaluating sources in an effort to help students take ownership of their own research. This three‐sided


approach gave learners the skills they needed to successfully use online sources, time to apply those skills,

and a motivation to hone those skills.

Room 3: Kindness Isn't Enough: Social Justice & Our Youngest Learners

“Kindness Isn’t Enough” Teaching elementary school age kids to “be kind” is good, but helping young

people understand how injustice exists in our world today is directly connected to our motivations of

teaching kindness. And it’s just as important. Much of the injustices in our country today are seeded in

racial and gender prejudice. By reading books from diverse authors and addressing the inequities with even

the youngest readers, we can help students make real‐world connections about why "being kind" is just

the first step on the road to social justice.

reading programs and other enhancements is quick. Learn to fix errors, run enhancements and global

edits, and group them into workflows.

Room 5: New Mexico Archivist Affinity Group

At last year’s NMLA meeting, several in attendance discussed the need for more opportunities to socialize

and support New Mexico archivists in their work. Tentatively scheduled for mid‐March 2020, archivists

interested in creating a framework for statewide networking and support were set to meet for the first

time. The gathering was cancelled due to COVID‐19, so a subsequent survey was instead sent out to a

number of archives‐focused organizations across the state; 35 individual responses were received. We

wish to engage NMLA members with the results of this survey and collaborate on next steps.
